Memphis at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Los Angeles got the two wins they needed at home and as often happens in the playoffs a letdown set in and the Lakers went to Memphis and lost 116-99. The Lakers especially were vulnerable because their previous win went into overtime, but now they're back home and the Grizzlies still have lost six of their past 10 games and the Lakers have won and covered four of the past six meetings and the Grizzlies are 0-4 at Los Angeles this season. LeBron James had a bad shooting night hitting just five of 17 shots and the Game 4 overtime game had a lot to do with it. Memphis is 0-6 ATS its past six games following a win and 4-10 ATS its past 14 conference quarterfinal games. The Lakers are 8-2 ATS following a loss and 4-0 ATS after losing by double digits. Take the Lakers as a Max Play.
